the Harry Potter Universe, John Williams movie scores, and Filipino-American history.

I need help with

seeking positive mentors in social enterprise. Could that be you?

Best advice I've received

If it doesn’t exist, create it.

Who do you most admire and why?

Michelle Obama. FLOTUS has style. She's a profound speaker, kicks down barriers, and tackles the challenges of education, health, and poverty awareness. She's a local shero and an inspiration for us all.

What's your secret superpower?

In a room full of strangers, I know how to break the ice.

What's your backup career?

A sustainable fashion designer/urban agriculturalist most definitely. I love ethical and eco design.

What do you remember without effort?

To say thank you.

If you had 5 minutes to teach someone something new, what would you teach?

Fashion = 5% function, 5% style, 10% fit, and the rest is all confidence. Case in point? Take a look at my friend Napoleon here. What do you do? "Vote for Pedro" = neatly centered on his shirt. The fit = just right. And he's got, "canned heat in his heels tonight, baby."
